PATIENTS' experiences at Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust A&E improved last year despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, a survey suggests.
The Royal College of Emergency Medicine's 2020 urgent and emergency care survey received feedback from 41,000 patients across England who attended a type one service – A&E departments – in September last year.
The 279 patients surveyed at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust gave the hospital an average overall experience score of 8.1 out of 10, an improvement on the 7 it received in 2018.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals received 9 out of 10 on treating patients with respect and dignity in A&E all of the time – up from 8.2 two years previously.
